  Binary package hint: plymouth
  
  Hello,
  I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, with proprietary drivers, and I am using Ubuntu Natty.
  
  Since I updated to Natty (it was the Beta 2 version), plymouth only
  shows a purple screen, without logo and without dots. It's simply
  purple.
  
- Note that, before updating, I had already solved the issue which made
- plymouth show the Ubuntu logo textual theme instead of the graphic one
- with proprietary drivers on Nvidia cards, so I don't think it's related
- (unless some of the files I modified were reset during the update, I
- don't know). This time, however, I don't even get the "default" text
- theme.
